Wine tasting

This can be geat fun, the chance to try, in small quantites, different wines. Red wine is put into big wine glases, the bowl of the glass is wide, that the wine can ‘breath’ more easily and the aroma can spread. Most red wines should be drunk at room temperature, they often benefit from being decantered first, although by a busy wine testing session, this is probabaly not possible.
White wine is served in narrower wine glasses, as it releases its aroma quicker than red wine and should not be left to stand too long in the glass.

Bread and water should also be served by wine tasting, a little should be taken after sampling a wine, this helps neutralize the taste of the wine, so that a new one can be tested.
The colour of a wine is the first to be noticed, then the smell, this is often compared to flowers or fruit, next comes the taste, the first taste that the tongue signals is not the same as when the wine reaches the back of the throat. This last taste is more like the smell of the wine.
So, it is often, the colour reminds us of fresh golden straw, the smell, of perfumed roses and the taste is firey and peppery and also light and sweet.

By a wine tasting where the aim is to test the wines for their quality, the wine tester will test the wines “blind” that is to say, he/she doesn’t know which wine they are trying. This guarantees that a tester has no preconceptions before the wine is tried. It is also an important way of finding any mistakes that have occurred during the wine production.
